And so here we go again with one more lesson how to draw a rainbow for you. It’s extremely easy to draw a rainbow. Did you ever see a rainbow, observe it, shape of the rainbow, how is it? We have a plain way of how we know about realistic rainbow drawing with very easy coloring and easy steps. It is a half circle having lot of colors within. Rainbows occur as a result of weather when the sun’s light passes over the rainwater droplets rainbows occur on the other side of the sun. Rainbows are invisible hence the painting must also appear as real as suspended in the sky.
Rainbow colors are in a particular sequence, for which you can recall VIBGYOR from bottom to going upside. If this sequence is disturbed while coloring it will be incorrect in terms of originality.
